Lesson Overview

Our new lesson this week continues to work with the content, but now we are going to take the tasks we identified in our task analysis and use those to write a series of instructional objectives. The great thing about this part of the project is that the tasks are 1/4 of your objective, so you have already begun writing objectives!

The instructional objectives you will be writing are based upon the specific tasks from your tasks analysis. As you write the objectives, you willl use the A B C D model.

A refers to the Audience
B refers to the Behavior
C refers to the Condition
D refers to the Degree

Lesson Assignments

This next part of your overall project is to write good instructional objectives which are extensions of your task analysis.

Use the Objective Template as a guide.

The template is a four column chart. In the first column you will list each task number from your task analysis. In the second column you will copy the task exactly from your task analysis. In the third column you will write your instructional objective using the ABCD model.

You may use this Objective Checklist to make sure you include everything in your proposal.
